i'll get over and have a look for sure.
One area of concern for me is the pollution of the cadmium mining - used of course in the making a batteries for our Hybrid cars, computers and phones. Its highly toxic. Whne you factor the mining ino tthe "greening of motor cars" the hybrids are not as green as we think.
